FalcoNg Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 You work exceptionally quick Debolestis! I have made some modifications that I think would be better suited to match the real throttle's actions. Please forgive my crude editing skills! I have modified it so that detents marked in yellow are push through similar to how you have this one set up in the center: https://www.shapeways.com/product/8ZNMV2TQV/warthog-throttle-part-center-detent?optionId=63799378 Then in order to reach Reverse Idle you'll need to lift and do slight pull back. To get out of the Reverse thrust range, you simply push through forward. Here is a video showing the detents in action during all phases of flight: Do you think it is possible in this configuration?

debolestis Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 I made a new version of Airbus throttle part. I made corrections that you wanted, but I am not sure if we'll get those percentages. This part probably will have to be recalibrated. If you are willing to test it I'll make necessary corrections.

FalcoNg Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Looks good so far. I will be sharing your image and Shapeways store link to see if anyone that is part of the beta test is willing to pick one up and try it out. Other than that, I'll have to wait until the aircraft is released or I get lucky enough to get into the beta. Thanks for your help and I'll get back to you when there is some feedback to share.

rel4y Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Well I read nothing about 10% off tomorrow. This makes the difference of ordering today or tomorrow, hence I am asking.

komemiute Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Hi Debolestis, I've had a critical breakup with my Warthog. Something very similar to this user -> https://imgur.com/a/RYg3q The Pictures of my accident can be seen here. https://forums.mudspike.com/t/the-5-stages-of-hardware-loss/632/15?u=komemiute I intend to buy this product here https://www.shapeways.com/product/DCM5AA9W3/thrustmaster-joystick-tailpiece?optionId=58829277 as a replacement. Can you confirm me that the plastic is not going to be break in a year? Note: I removed the big strong recentering coil from the bottom of the Stick so there's not so much stress applied to it. Also, being in Europe, is there a way for you to print parts over here so there's no import taxes? Edited December 2, 2017 by komemiute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debolestis Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Plastic is nylon and is very strong but I cannot tell how long it will last. Time will tell. I have been selling them for year or so. Shapeways prints in US and in Holland for Europe.

debolestis Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 I ordered no detents warthog throttle part. It worked as expected. There are no detents from 0 to 100%. It was very easy to install, I only needed to unscrew 2 screws. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debolestis Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 I stared to experiment with new tail piece. X36 to Warthog/Cougar. I think that X45 could also be used with it but I am not 100% sure. Here is version 1. And here it is installed. Why I did this? I kind of like this grip, maybe it will be useful in the future. It also looks a lot like flight stick from elite dangerous. I still need to design new PCB for it. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianlu320 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hello Debolestis Some time ago I ordered from shapeways your hotas cougar locking nut in metal This morning I had a chance to finally try it on my cougar but no joy The two slots were too small compared to the original and needed to be enlarged, but this is not a big deal The real problem is the thread of the locking nut It's not correct and it will not screw on the cougar base. I even tried to correct the thread a little bit filing here and there with my dremel but there is no way, it will not screw. It doesn't matter since the shapeways guys were so nice to offer a refund but I really like this part and I would like to buy a working one Is there any way you could review this part and adjust where needed? on shapeways store it says the part is untested but I just had a look back in this thread and I saw the cougar locking nut mounted and screwed on the cougar base So how come the part is untested? do you have any idea why mine didn't work? Is it possible some printing defect? may be because is metal? sorry for the many questions Just trying to find a solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible some printing defect? may be because is metal? sorry for the many questions Just trying to find a solution Hi, sorry for that, but this is the reason why part is still untested. I removed metal nut from my store. I don't have time now to work on another version of it. You cannot fix it with Dremel please don't do that. You need M32x2 tap to fix this problem. Like on this eBay sale. But that is expensive part, maybe you can find a metal worker near by who can do this for you. It will not be a big problem because only a a little metal must be removed. I am afraid that is the only way. - Part is untested because of this reason, I always try to get confirmation for all materials. Metal parts have a bit different manufacture process, this happened because of that, plastic printing is more precise. I just cannot test all designs in all materials, especially not metals, metal is very expensive. - You can ask anything you want there is no problem with that. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianlu320 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Thank you for your answer Yes as you say there is no way to fix it with the dremel, i worked al the day on it and i just gave up now. But i had to try. So do you think if i order the plastic one it will work? And do you think is it strong enough to screw down the Cougar grip firmly without braking? Thanks a lot for your help!

You cannot fix it with Dremel but you can TAP threads with a tool. I found cheaper tap tool on eBay. It will be easy I think, maybe there is a locksmith in your area who can do this. You can see how to tap holes in . It is fixable but you need proper tools. Plastic versions are tested and they work, I tested both versions myself on Cougar and Warthog.

gianlu320 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Unfortunately it is not fixable anymore because as I said I tried with the dremel all the day Filing initially a little bit, then a bit more, then more, then more And I ended up damaging it even more. I wish I had asked you this before starting to try and fix it by myself Never mind, lesson learned, ask before improvising something...
